🍽️ Where to Eat in Phu Quoc – 2025 Dining Guide

Looking for great food in Phu Quoc? Whether you’re indulging in fresh seafood 🐟 or craving comfort bites 🍔, this island has something for everyone. While every beach resort (except the budget guesthouses) offers an in-house restaurant, quality and pricing can vary – some places overcharge, and the food may not meet expectations. If you’re staying outside the Long Beach area, keep in mind that dining options might be limited unless you’re okay with calling a taxi. Long Beach, though more vibrant, offers a broader variety of eateries within walking distance. 🏝️
